Like Cupid and his arrow, Walt Disney World has a way of reaching your heartstrings, turning seemingly average folks into gushing Disney fanatics.

Those who have been "stuck" with the Disney magic have been known to do extraordinary things, like write poems, draw pictures, collect memorabilia, start Websites — even write blogs — about what is often referred to as the Vacation Kingdom of the World in central Florida.

One recent Disney convert has been so moved by his family’s experiences at WDW that he wrote a song about their newfound love of WDW, which he’s posted on YouTube.

It’s called "Welcome to a World Where Dreams Come True" and it’s a catchy tune with equally compelling lyrics about a place that has become near and dear to Rodman, his wife and their two children. He packaged the song with a video to offer an Internet scrapbook of his family’s recent visits.

Four years ago, Tedd Rodman and his family, who reside outside of Boston, were planning their first-ever visit to Walt Disney World. They admit they weren’t expecting much.

"My wife and I were kinda like, ‘Hey listen guys. This is probably gonna be it,’" Rodman began. "‘Enjoy it, but it costs a lot of money. Where gonna have a great time. Maybe when you’re teenagers, we’ll go back again.’"

That’s about when Mickey’s arrow hit them.

"We got back and started to watch the videos," Rodman said, "and it was like, ‘Oh man, we gotta go again.’ We planned the next trip and since then, four years later, we’ve gone six times." They’re even going on a Disney cruise in a few weeks.

"It’s turned into kind of an obsession," Rodman admits. "I joke with my kids that they may not be going to college because we’re spending all their college money on Disney World. But we’ll worry about that when the time comes."

Rodman has been a songwriter for many years, but "only recently have gotten back into it with any degree of seriousness," he said. "I have one song with 3,000 hits (on YouTube). That’s just me recording it in my living room and not too much promotion. The Disney song has nearly 1,000 hits and that’s all over the world.

"With the Internet, you don’t really need a record company anymore. I’ve got my Mac at home. I’m able to record digitally and then get it out there and promote it. Now you can do your own thing and build a following. I’m thinking about going out and playing again, which I haven’t done in years. I’ve had enough demand that it kind of makes sense."

Rodman says he writes songs about things that are central in his life: His wife, his kids. And now, "Disney’s become a central theme in our lives. We’re either on a trip or planning our next trip.

"I actually wrote the lyrics (to ‘Welcome to a World Where Dreams Come True’) while we were at Disney World. I was typing them into my iPhone as we were walking around the park."

The song has gotten a tremendously positive response. "I’ve had people tell me they’ve actually cried after hearing the song," Rodman said. "I think that’s because people are so emotional about Disney. It’s really phenomenal that this little two-minute song pulls on their heartstrings."

Rodman even included a clip of Disney Magical Express in the video, which has resonated with a lot of people, including his family.

"My kids love being on that bus. Even the bus ride becomes something that’s anticipated. They can’t wait to get on the bus. It’s just been a phenomenal time for us. My hope is that one of these days, we’re gonna get on that bus and my song’s gonna be playing over the loudspeaker.

"It’s been a lot of fun to interact with Disney fans. Some people have done what I’ve done ... taken my song and put their own photos on top of it. It’s become their soundtrack for their memories."

Which, when all is said and done, is what Walt Disney World is all about.
